Section 60 The Coming War

Long legs, with Polaris and Dreamers, they followed Magneto's men to check the battlefield where the war was expected to be with the matchmaker's military. Otherwise, if she had been there, she would have prevented Tom from asking such a "stupid" question.

·····

“··· General, find a large number of mutants inside the front building... ”

As Tom was remorseful, the picture on the TV suddenly changed. A heavily armed soldier quickly appears in the camera, reporting something to an American general who looks like a general.

The voice of the media soldier was so loud that reporters and photographers standing in places where his face could not be seen clearly could clearly hear every word of the soldier's report to the general.

"It's coming..."

"What's coming?"

Hearing Magneto's mocking words, Tom tilted his head and looked at Magneto strangely. Aren't they in Hell's Kitchen right now? The matchmaker soldier was right?

Then, Tom saw that the White Queen connected to the walkie-talkie, and it seemed that she was talking to the subordinates in the Brotherhood who were in charge of monitoring the matchmaker's military: "An American soldier said that he found our brother, have we been in contact with the matchmaker's military?" ”

Soon, someone replied from the White Queen's walkie-talkie: "No, according to the arrangement of the leader of Magneto, we are all hiding north of West 42nd Street to monitor the movements of military soldiers who may appear." But so far, we have not seen a single soldier of the military.

In my estimation, even if it is the vanguard of the matchmaker's military, it must at least be south of West 34th Street, otherwise, we will not be able to see even a single enemy. ”

"No more asking..." Magneto picked up his forgiveness-colored helmet and put it on his head, and spoke out to stop the Witch Shape, who was also taking out the walkie-talkie, apparently trying to ask her subordinates:

"Isn't that obvious? This is a show by the matchmaker's military, after all, our existence has long been confirmed by the matchmaker's military. The reason why this is done is just to find an excuse to drive away the crowd, block the streets, and put all the blame on us when the incident is over. ”

"What? There are mutants here? Aren't we stepping into the encirclement of mutants? Quick, hurry up and evacuate the crowd and reporters. Unexpectedly, there are still a large number of mutants hidden in Hell's Kitchen. If we don't find it, forget it, but since we did, it's for the sake of our New Yorkers. ”

On TV, the general sitting in a jeep was shouting hoarsely. Obviously, he is already old, and his temperament is obviously not as good as the media soldier who just reported the situation. Trying to be far away and hear him clearly on camera, the general had to shout at the top of his voice. So much so that his face was reddened.

"Ah, I see, I have long insight, I have long insight..."

However, this still did not affect the acting skills of the military general of the matchmaker. Looking at his speech with a strong sense of justice, Tom even felt. If a certain Han and a certain fan in their previous life had this kind of acting skills, then it is estimated that no one will say what kind of little fresh meat they are.

"Let's go, everyone is performing so hard, so naturally we have to fully cooperate. Otherwise, it lived up to such a deliberate plan by the military of the matchmaker? ”

Magneto, helmeted on, proudly leads the fraternity members in the bar

Walked out of the bar and headed for the pre-selected battlefield.

"Let's go..." After taking a deep look at the military general, who was still shouting on TV to "let the crowd go first, let the reporters leave" first, Tom also got up from the bar stool and strode towards the outside of the bar:

"Magneto has already said that he will destroy the 9,000 pursuers of the matchmaker's military in one battle. This is the second battle of our watchmen, and it will also be the first battle that will truly establish our prestige, and while protecting ourselves, the brothers must show their best fighting power. ”

"Yes, Chief..."

After listening to Tom's words, the watchmen who followed Tom and walked out of the bar one after another naturally agreed.

·····

At the corner of West 54th Street and 9th Avenue, St. George's Chapel, which is completely decaying and has many holes in the surrounding walls, is the arena for the watchmen.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say that when someone from the military enters our surveillance area, they will notify all of us and you will act when the time comes? Why, all came early? ”

When Tom led the hundred and ten watchmen into the church, Long Legs was directing Polaris, Dreamer and the others, using the materials that the Brotherhood had prepared for them in advance to build fortifications.

Here, two blocks away, the Church of the Sacred Heart, is where Magneto and the Brotherhood have chosen in advance to fight against the matchmaker's military. Because the Watchmen were outnumbered by the Brotherhood, Magneto gave Tom and his Watchmen the battlefield in the area around St. George's Chapel, which was relatively far behind.

But after dinner, at six or seven o'clock, there was no darkness outside. However, Tom and the others couldn't see anyone on their way from the Hellfire Club to St. George's Chapel.

After all, it's Hell's Kitchen, home to all of New York's baddies and villains. Here, no one dares to go out after dinner. In addition, with St. George's Church and Sacré-Coeur Church nearby, it is even more unlikely that anyone will show up.

Because if you had believed in Jesus and God, you wouldn't be in Hell's Kitchen, would you?

That's why Magneto and his Brotherhood chose the two churches as the center of battle between the Brotherhood and the Watchmen.

"The view is very open, the location of the house is complex, and it is very suitable for us to fight. Butterfly, have you arranged with the Dreamers where we can stop the soldiers? ”

Tom, who slowly flew to the window at the height of the church wall, looked out at the densely packed houses nearby, and then turned back to Long Legs and asked.

"Of course, dear." Long Legs conjured a flying carpet with his blue ring and flew her to Tom's side, then took out a map and pointed to six or seven red circles on it: "Here, here, and here." It's all very suitable for us to fight against the military. ”

That's why Long Legs had brought Polaris and Dreamers to familiarize themselves with the terrain beforehand. After all, the watchmen of a hundred or so people, Tom and Long Legs, could not let each of them know where they were going to fight the soldiers of the matchmaker's military in a short period of time.

So, they had to let all the squad leaders do it first. And Polaris, who has been following the long-legged Polaris, the two brothers on the journey, and the seven blue ring holders, are such team leaders.

"Okay, you can assign the manpower."

Tom casually glanced at the map, then nodded and motioned for Long Legs to begin allocating men. Just kidding, how does he know which places on the map are suitable and which are not? After all, Tom hadn't done anything on the field like Long Legs.

"Listen, the one hundred and seven of us who participated in the battle this time will be divided into ten groups in total. The patriarchs of each group are Polaris, Thunderbird, Journey, and Dreamer...

The members of the first group are: Flash, Iceman, Phantom Cat... ”

Like the leader of each group, the members of each group are actually assigned a long time ago. Depending on the overall strength of their strength, the combat positions they will go to will naturally be different.

Seeing that the more than 100 people in the church were quickly divided into eleven groups, Tom, who was standing with his long legs at the high window, spoke again: "Make good use of your various weapons, obey the orders of your respective captains, rely on each other, and protect each other, this is our most powerful weapon besides our own ability."

In this battle, I allow you to use the Lantern Ring without restrictions. Remember, young and old, the next humans to come into your sight will be our enemies. In the face of our enemies, all we need to do is kill... ”

"My watchmen brothers, remember today, August 13th, 2005. Because from this day forward, the fate of the mutants will be completely changed by ourselves. There is no discrimination, no hiding, no suffering, and a better tomorrow is about to be born here.

For the sake of our tomorrow, let's let go and fight. I and your leaders will be your strongest support. We will always be here to give you the support you need. ”

Tom's speech was followed by the pre-war mobilization of the long legs. This woman has a mantra lasso in one hand and a spiritual whip in the other, and when she speaks, the walls around her "crackle", and Tom has a straight toothache when she sees it.

"Victory..."

"Victory..."

However, the effect of the pre-war mobilization of the long legs was as good as initially expected. The members of the fraternity in the church looked feverishly at Tom and Long Legs standing at the high window. Wildly waving the guns in his hands, he repeated the slogan of victory over and over again.

Don't think that when mutants fight, they're only going to use their own abilities. In fact, most mutants use guns, grenades, and other thermal weapons when they fight.

This time, Tom's watchmen also brought a large number of weapons and ammunition. Who made the leader of the Watchmen Tom? There is such a humanoid money printing machine in. In addition to bazookas, heavy weapons such as field guns could not be bought. Others, such as Gatling heavy machine guns and anti-infantry mines, can be bought from a variety of sources.

"Why do you suddenly feel that I really want to become the head of an MLM of some kind of organization?"

Tom doesn't know why, but he always thinks of the strange images of his past life and news videos.
